The European Union (EU) ⁱ/ˌjʊrəˈpiːənˈjuːnjən/ is an economic and political union or confederation of 27 member states which are located primarily in Europe. The EU traces its origins from the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the European Economic Community (EEC), formed by six countries in 1958. In the intervening years the EU has grown in size by the accession of new member states and in power by the addition of policy areas to its remit. The Maastricht Treaty established the European Union under its current name in 1993. The latest amendment to the constitutional basis of the EU, the Treaty of Lisbon, came into force in 2009.

The EU operates through a system of supranational independent institutions and intergovernmental negotiated decisions by the member states. Important institutions of the EU include the European Commission, the Council of the European Union, the European Council, the Court of Justice of the European Union, and the European Central Bank. The European Parliament is elected every five years by EU citizens.

Sandra de Sá (born Sandra Cristina Frederico de Sá in Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian composer and singer.

Norman Lowell (born July 29, 1946) is a Maltese ultranationalist writer and head of the Imperium Europa, a political party.

Imperium Europa advocates an all-White Europe, i.e. the forced expulsion of non-whites from the continent. The parlance of the party is to unite "all European natives" (code for white Europeans-only) under one flag, hence the name "Imperium Europa" (European Empire), leading to "a Europid bond forged through Spirituality closely followed by Race, nurtured through High culture, protected by High Politics, enforced by the Elite." This is an adaption of Cosmotheism, an idea of the white supremacist writer and former leader of the American Nazi party William Pierce.

Norman Lowell contested the first European Parliament elections that were held in Malta on June 12, 2004, obtaining 1,603 first-count votes from a total of 250,691 votes cast (0.64%). Lowell again contested the European Parliamentary elections in Malta on June 6, 2009. He received 3,559 votes, out of 322,411 cast, for just over one percent of the vote.
